Faves here in suburbia-land:

2' swede saw or pruning saw for least noise, most exercise, especially on Sundays.

35 cc "McC" (Jenn Feng) w/14" for anything less than 16-18". Quiet, low vibes, quick. Became GoToSaw 6 yrs ago when Poulan 2150's fuel lines broke up. Expecting at least another 6 good years from it. With its low fatigue-factor, I can run it all day with only the odd couple of minutes to hydrate it and myself, and to drain (me).

The bigger saws are overkill at home.

MS200T, i think. Small, light, easy to haul around and stash behind sofa and such, relatively reliable, for most of the everyday homeowners need behind the house, while doing some construction work, for cutting small firewood etc.

Just for pruning and small trimming, PP-S25CVA, little bigger limbs down PP-Super Duper 380 (wearing 330 badges), anything bigger then out comes the PP455, 475, 505, or the Poulan 8500. It don't get too big around here for these guys.......

The living room is a little bigger so I can run the McCulloch, but the bedroom is smaller so I only run the 142 in there. In the kitchen I can only run the 42cc Craftsman as that is the quietest, otherwise my wife gets mad.

For....cutting cake? or what?:yoyo::laugh: :jester:
Cake, roast beef, whatever. You need to use organic bar oil though. The McCulloch is great for cobwebs and dust bunnies in those hard to reach places, especially with the 24" bar. And of course, the bedroom is where the hardwood is at..........







OK, I think I've taken that about as far as I can - getting a little weird now!
